    Multilanguage Forum and url rewrite

    Hi there.. I have looked into this forum but was not sure if I understand everything.

    The case: I have an forum in English language.

    I will add more forums later for visitors with other languages, like Greek, Romanian etc.

    Of course I want the urls to be rewritten in those languages.

    Is that possible with vbseo?

    What settings in vbseo control panel do I have to check?
    And which settings from them do I need to activate/disactivate/choose?

    Are there any other things that I have to keep in mind?

    Thank you for any help with this

    Hello,

    there is a special setting in vBSEO CP to handle that: "Replace Non-English Characters in URLs?".
    Additionally, you can define custom character replacements: replace non english characters

    Okay thank you for the reply. I checked the thread you gave me (and others as well) but unfortunately I still dont get it.


    For example: I have a german word in a title: für
    in the url this "für" becomes 'fuer' but I want that to be 'fur'


    My config_vbseo.php is UTF-8 encoded, for in case that's important.


    The setting "Replace Non-English Characters in URLs?" is set to:
    "Replace Non-English Characters in URLs"


    The config_vbseo.php custom character replacement look like this:

    // ****** CUSTOM CHARACTER REPLACEMENTS ******
    // The following array enables you to select a replacement for characters other than the ones replaced
    // by default.
    $vbseo_custom_char_replacement = array(
    'Č' => 'c',
    'č' => 'c',
    'Ğ' => 'g',
    'ğ' => 'g',
    'Ş' => 's',
    'ş' => 's',
    'İ' => 'i',
    'ı' => 'i',
    'Ç' => 'c',
    'ç' => 'c',
    'Ü' => 'u',
    'ü' => 'u',
    'ü' => 'u',
    'Ö' => 'o',
    'ö' => 'o',
    'ı' => 'i',
    'İ' => 'i',
    'é' => 'i',
    'â' => 'a',
    'Ê' => 'e',
    'Â' => 'a',
    'ê' => 'e');


    Can someone explain me step by step what I should do to change this "fuer" to "fur" in the URL???


    I understand it is not the most exciting task to explain me, but I want to have a good understanding from the beginning, as my board will be in Greek, Romanian etc as well. So I really would like to understand what I have to do (so I dont have to ask here all the time )

    Thank you for any help!
